Embodiment
After this, with reference to the accompanying drawings, will describe into optimal mode of the present invention.
(first embodiment)
Fig. 1 is the configuration block diagram that shows according to the video signal recording/reproducing equipment of first embodiment of the invention.The video signal recording/reproducing equipment of this embodiment comprisestuner 11,demodulation parts 12, compressedencoding parts 13, timeinformation generating parts 14, thehard disk drive 15 as storage sets can reducepart exploring block 16,decoding parts 17, temporal information is extractedparts 18, can reducepart identification component 19, switchingjudging parts 20 andoutput switching part 21.
Tuner 11 is selected arbitrary channel from the TV signal that antenna receives.12 pairs of receiving video signals that comprise data image signal and digital audio signal by the demodulation of TV signal and the output oftuner 11 selected channels of demodulation parts.13 pairs of receiving video signals carries out image/sound compressed encodings of being exported bydemodulation parts 12 of compressed encoding parts are MPEG (Motion Picture Experts Group) coding for example, with multiplexing from the temporal information of handling beginning for example by the SCR (system-timing reference) and the PTS (express time mark) of mpeg encoded standard definition, and the packed data of each image and sound.Thereby, the compressed stream data of generation mbit/data speed.Compressed encodingparts 13 record compressed stream data in thehard disk drive 15 then.
Timeinformation generating parts 14 generation time information are with on the modulated receiving video signals that is added to, and can be formed by the timer that is used for by the preset frequency Measuring Time.The time adjustment of timer can automatically be carried out based on the time signal of the scheduled time of transmitting on the TV signal, or can manually be carried out by the user.Note the step of the operation of timeinformation generating parts 14 corresponding to generation time information.
Can reducepart exploring block 16 receivingdemodulation parts 12 demodulated receiving video signals, and survey the reduced part in the receiving video signals.Can reducepart exploring block 16 and receive current time information from timeinformation generating parts 14, and survey can reduce part the time can reducingpart exploring block 16, each the temporal information that can reduce the beginning of part and end records in the hard disk drive 15.More particularly, use compressive flow with predetermined period as the unit, GOP (image sets) unit as by the mpeg encoded standard definition records temporal information in the hard disk drive 15.Attention can reduce the operation ofpart exploring block 16 corresponding to surveying the step that can reduce part.
For example, as treating, consider the commercial video image section and wherein image and sound keep the scheduled time or part for more time at a certain state by reducing the reduced part thatpart exploring block 16 is surveyed.Spectators do not wish to watch the commercial video image, and therefore shearing this commercial video image can not cause any specific question.Because receiving video signals switches to single language broadcasting from bilingual broadcasting, so can detect the commercial video image.In addition, based on the interval information during the silence period in the receiving video signals, can detect the commercial video image.And when business information was added on the TV signal ofunmodulated device 12 demodulation still, the commercial video image can detect from the TV signal without demodulation.In addition, even program does not comprise the commercial video image, wherein image and sound keep the part of the scheduled time also can be detected out as reducing part at a certain state.For example, comprising rest image and noiseless part can not provide any fresh information to spectators, and thereby, shear this rest image and can not cause any specific question.The detection of this part can be carried out by surveying such one-period, the fluctuation of sound signal level is enough little continuously in predetermined period in this cycle, and the undulate quantity of each pixel signal level difference sum is enough little during predetermined period in each frame period of picture signal.
In the above described manner, each receiving video signals and the temporal information that can reduce part are recorded on thehard disk drive 15.
On the other hand,decoding parts 17 are read compressed stream data fromhard disk drive 15, the compressed stream data of having read is carried out decoding as mpeg decode, and output comprise the regeneration vision signal of data image signal and digital audio signal.Read compressed stream data and writing compressed stream data and can carry out synchronously fromhard disk drive 15 by compressed encoding parts 13.That is, in reception and record video image content, the video image content of a time point record in the past of can reading and regenerate.
Decodingparts 17 continuously or discontinuously with than the speed of the fast twice of recording rate promptly with the speed of 2 * mbit/, read compressed stream data.When decodingparts 17 when reading compressed stream data continuously than the speed of the fast twice of recording rate, with and the same interval of receiving video signals and with the vision signal of regenerating than the speed output of the fast twice of conventional regeneration.Especially, in predetermined period, one of per two frames of the regeneration vision signal of regenerating in the conventional regeneration by sparse, makes the regeneration vision signal export with twice speed.On the other hand, when reading compressed stream data discontinuously, decodingparts 17 connect the compressed stream data of having read by its interbody spacer, and export the regeneration vision signal continuously.That is, compare, skip its partly outputting video signal with conventional regeneration.As a result, the regeneration vision signal is regenerated with two-forty.
Temporal information is extractedparts 18 and receive the flow data of reading fromhard disk drive 15, and extracts the temporal information that is superimposed upon on the compressed stream data.As described, by timeinformation generating parts 14 generation time information, and by compressed encodingparts 13 with on its compressed stream data that is added to.Note the step of the operation of temporalinformation extraction parts 18 corresponding to detection time information.
Can reducepart identification component 19 and receive the temporal information of being extracted by temporalinformation extraction parts 18, and be recorded in temporal information on thehard disk drive 15 with reference to reducingpart exploring block 16, discern the regeneration vision signal and whether belong to by reducing the reduced part thatpart exploring block 16 is surveyed.Especially, belong to and to reduce part if the time of extracting about the regeneration vision signal between the start and end time that can reduce part, then can reducepart exploring block 19 identification regeneration vision signals.Notice that the operation that can reducepart identification component 19 can reduce the step of part corresponding to identification.
Switchingjudging parts 20 receive by the information that can reduce the reduced part thatpart exploring block 16 surveyed, with by the information that can reduce the reduced part thatpart identification component 19 discerned, based on these information and executing logic determines, be that controloutput switching part 21 produces the video image switching signals, and output video image switching signal then.Especially, switchingjudging parts 20 are checked by reducing reduced part thatpart exploring block 16 surveyed whether with the same by reducing the reduced part thatpart identification component 19 discerned.Be no difference if judge them, then switchingjudging parts 20 output video image switching signals make vision signal to be exported switch to receiving video signals from the regeneration vision signal.The operation of noting switchingjudging parts 20 is switched the step that output is judged corresponding to making.
Example as the vision signal of switching by switchingjudging parts 20, wherein in the just received while of commercial video image, when the regeneration vision signal was regenerated forward fast and reached the commercial video image section forward fast, video image displayed automatically switched to the receiver, video image from the regeneration video image on the TV Monitor.In this case, cut away part commercial video image.Yet as mentioned above, the commercial video image is not that spectators want to see, and therefore, does not produce specific question.
Be input in theoutput switching part 21 bydemodulation parts 12 demodulated received vision signals with by the regeneration vision signal that decodingparts 17 are decoded, andoutput switching part 21 is selected one of video image of input according to the video image switching signal of being exported by switchingjudging parts 20, and then the signal of selecting is outputed to TV Monitor.The operation of notingoutput switching part 21 is switched the step that output is judged corresponding to making.
As described, according to present embodiment, by regenerating forward fast or skip regeneration, high rapid regeneration the regeneration vision signal.Then, when the reduced part of regeneration vision signal was caught up with the reduced part of receiving video signals, vision signal then to be exported can automatically switch to receiving video signals from the regeneration vision signal.
Note compressedencoding parts 13, timeinformation generating parts 14, can reducepart exploring block 16,decoding parts 17, temporalinformation extract parts 18, can reducepart identification component 19, switchingjudging parts 20 andoutput switching part 21 can be used as semiconductor integrated circuit and realize.
(second embodiment)
Fig. 2 is the configuration block diagram that shows according to the video signal recording/reproducing equipment of second embodiment of the invention.Can reducepart exploring block 16 and can reducepart identification component 19 by from the video signal recording/reproducing equipment of first embodiment, omitting, and to comprise switching judging parts 22, can obtain the configuration that the video signal recording/reproducing equipment of this example has.After this, will describe switching judging parts 22 in detail.
The temporal information to receiving video signals to be superimposed that switching judging parts 22 receive from timeinformation generating parts 14, and the temporal information of extractingparts 18 from temporal information for the extraction of regeneration vision signal, judge based on these temporal information actuating logics, be that controloutput switching part 21 produces the video image switching signals, and output video image switching signal then.Especially, switching judging parts 22 calculate from the time that timeinformation generating parts 14 obtain with from the time difference between the time that temporalinformation extraction parts 18 obtain, as the time difference between receiving video signals and the regeneration vision signal.Then, if should the time difference greater than predetermined value, output regeneration vision signal continuously then is and if this time difference is a predetermined value or less than predetermined value, then the output video image switching signal makes and switches to receiving video signals from the regeneration vision signal.
As the example of the vision signal of switching by switching judging parts 22, in the time of wherein after the opening entry receiving video signals was through 10 minutes, the regeneration of the vision signal that beginning is write down will be considered.A period of time after the regeneration beginning, the time of the time of receiving video signals and regeneration vision signal falls far short to each other.Therefore, spectators obtain being presented at the regeneration vision signal on the TV Monitor and appreciate it.At regeneration period, suppose that video image is as to spectators and the high rapid regeneration of nonessential commercial video image or by spectators' operation or automatically regenerate in some other mode.Then, when repeatedly repeating this high rapid regeneration etc., the time difference between regeneration vision signal and the receiving video signals reduces gradually.When the time difference becomes predetermined value or during less than predetermined value, the regeneration vision signal automatically switches to receiving video signals.
As described, according to present embodiment, by regenerating forward fast or skipping the regeneration vision signal of having regenerated.Then, when reaching very near the regeneration vision signal fast forward, vision signal to be exported can automatically switch to receiving video signals from the regeneration vision signal.In first embodiment, can reduce part unless each receiving video signals and reproduced picture signal belong to one, otherwise vision signal can not be switched automatically.On the contrary, according to present embodiment, no matter whether each receiving video signals and reproduced picture signal belong to one and can reduce part, and vision signal is all caught up with the moment that receives picture signal in the regeneration vision signal and switched.Therefore, output signal switches to receiving video signals in can be in than first embodiment shorter time.In addition, needn't provide and to reduce part exploring block and can reduce the part identification component.Therefore, the configuration of present embodiment is much simpler than first embodiment.
Notice that compressedencoding parts 13, timeinformation generating parts 14,decoding parts 17, temporalinformation extraction parts 18, switchingjudging parts 20 andoutput switching part 21 can be used as semiconductor integrated circuit and realize.
(the 3rd embodiment)
According to first embodiment, when regeneration vision signal and receiving video signals belonged to identical reduced part, output switched to receiving video signals from the regeneration vision signal.Therefore, the main body of program is not cut away.Yet, if even receiving video signals decline very minutely from commercial video image, output can not switched before next commercial video image.
On the other hand, according to second embodiment, in case the regeneration vision signal will be switched output very near receiving video signals.Yet, have this situation, wherein be outputted in certain other part rather than can reduce the part promptly in the middle of the program main body.This has run counter to wish that spectators want to appreciate the program main body and therefore optional.
Then,, will consider a kind of video signal recording/reproducing equipment, be used for when avoiding shearing the program main body as far as possible, and carry out output at time point early and switch as the third embodiment of the present invention.Fig. 3 is the configuration block diagram that shows according to the video signal recording/reproducing equipment of present embodiment.Add by video signal recording/reproducing equipment second embodiment first embodiment video signal recording/reproducing equipment reducedpart exploring block 16 and can reducepart identification component 19, obtain the configuration that the video signal recording/reproducing equipment of present embodiment has.After this, with the switchingjudging parts 23 in the video signal recording/reproducing equipment of detailed description present embodiment.
Whether the recognition result of switchingjudging parts 23 receptions can reductionpart identification component 19 and notified regeneration vision signal belong to can be reduced part.Normally, as in a second embodiment, switchingjudging parts 23 monitor that whether the time difference between regeneration vision signals and the receiving video signals is predetermined value or less than predetermined value.Even promising predetermined value or less than time difference of predetermined value can be reduced part unless the regeneration vision signal belongs to, otherwise also do not carried out the automatic switchover of vision signal.Thereby, Switch Video signal automatically not in the middle of the program.
In addition, when switchingjudging parts 23 reached the information that can reduce part from reducingpart identification component 19 reception regeneration vision signals, it was greater than reducing time span partly that switchingjudging parts 23 are set predetermined values.For example, suppose that predetermined value is defined as 10 seconds.When the regeneration vision signal reached 90 seconds commercial video images, it was 93 seconds that switchingjudging parts 23 are reseted predetermined value, and carried out switching judging.In this case, if receiving video signals surpasses the ending of commercial video image, for example 3 seconds or time still less, then the time difference between receiving video signals and the regeneration vision signal mostly is 93 seconds most, and be considered to reset predetermined value or less than the scope of reseting predetermined value within.Therefore, in this case, the Switch Video signal.
In the situation of above-mentioned example, in the video signal recording/reproducing equipment of first embodiment before next commercial video image, can not the Switch Video signal.On the contrary,, next commercial video image need not be waited for, vision signal receiving video signals can be switched to according to present embodiment.In this case, the body matter that finishes in back 3 seconds of commercial video image is cut off.Yet, with the situation of wherein cutting away the content in the middle of the program main body relatively, think that the amount of information that spectators lose is less.
As described, according to present embodiment, video signal can switch by more Zao time point in than first embodiment, and the shearing than second embodiment program body matter is still less arranged.
Attention is in the video signal recording/reproducing equipment of each the foregoing description, andoutput switching part 21 is automatically carried out the switching from the regeneration vision signal to receiving video signals.Yet video signal recording/reproducing equipment can form like this, switches so that semi-automatically carry out, that is, his own the reception from video signal recording/reproducing equipment of spectators instructed, and switches to receiving video signals from the regeneration vision signal.Oneself carry out under the situation about switching by him therein, for example from switching judgingparts 20,22 and 23, may export the signal that the instruction video signal switches to spectators.
In addition, the condition of switching as output except above-mentioned these, can carry out output and switch under such condition, the bit rate of the vision signal of promptly regenerating is lower than predeterminated level, and the time difference between regeneration vision signal and the reception picture signal is less than the predetermined value that may adopt.That does like this reasons are as follows.If the bit rate of regeneration vision signal is low, think that reproduced picture is that a kind of still image or picture quality are inferior.In this case, it is more preferred to switch to receiving video signals.
In addition, can under such condition, carry out output and switch, promptly according to the generation bit quantity of the compressed encoding of receiving video signals less than predetermined value, and the time difference between regeneration vision signal and the receiving video signals is less than predetermined value.If each is relative few with the bit rate separately of decoding side in the coding side, suppose that then the data volume that is stored in the bit buffer unit is few relatively.Therefore, in this case, even when carrying out the output switching, think that the data volume of losing is also few relatively.
In addition, for example, if can survey spectators whether just in the face of TV Monitor, then when between regeneration vision signal and the receiving video signals time difference, spectators did not see TV Monitor less than predetermined value the time, can make the output switching that will carry out.In this case, cut away even the partial programme main body is output, spectators do not see video image, and therefore, do not have specific question yet.
In addition, the video signal recording/reproducing equipment of each the foregoing description can be applicable in each analog broadcasting and the digital broadcasting.
Allow from the automatic switchover of vision signal of regenerating according to video signal recording/reproducing equipment of the present invention to receiving video signals.Therefore, video signal recording/reproducing equipment of the present invention can be used as DVD recorder, HDD video tape recorder etc.In addition, video signal recording/reproducing equipment of the present invention can be used as the TV image capture board of computer equally.
